I was kind of wondering what was going on when I first started this film, about the ominous dangers that were threatening the US of A. I was like 'Was Dew THAT bad?" But no it's not about THAT dew. The film turns out to be a commie paranoia film! We must stop them at any cost! So that's why they created the Distant Early Warning Line, or DEW line for short in the arctic circle. The film chronologizes the building of the project, how they got the equipment up to that remote area (single parachutes don't always work) and how men worked up there during long winters. The film sort of works and doesnt, It seems to drag on waaaay too long, but this is such a fascinating subject, I would'nt hesitate for people to take a look at it.
